PRAYING FOR THE CHURCH

The church is the body of Christ, who is the light of the nations. The church should walk in Holiness and righteousness. It should take its position as the city/nation’s gatekeepers. God calls the church “my people”. When the church is walking right with God, God brings peace and great restoration. We start living and being led the way God wants and so wickedness is defeated. We need to pray for the church – God’s family. You know, the whole purpose of human history is to give God a family. This family must walk in holiness. Jesus said that he is building a church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. You prayers will plough the spiritual soil of your church and help to prepare the ground for the coming harvest of changed lives. Please pray:
